Abstract Poland's approximate 500-km coastline predominantly comprises sandy, low-lying beaches and populated coastal lowlands. They are exposed to a range of threats from recently observed intensified climate changes and anticipated accelerated sea-level rise. Sediment starvation is already indicated by the growing necessity for dune and cliff protection that has been exacerbated by sea-level rise. The current study is both a summary and extension of existing Polish studies, and analyses… Expand

Assessment of Vulnerability and Adaptation to Sea-Level Rise for the Coastal Zone of Germany
Abstract Germany's coast extends over 3700 km on both the North and Baltic Seas and is shared by five coastal states. Major seaport cities, Hamburg and Bremen, form two of these states, whereas rural… Expand
New estimates of potential impacts of sea level rise and coastal floods in Poland
Polish coastal zone is thought to be one of the most exposed to sea level rise in Europe. With mean sea levels expected to increase between 28 and 98 cm by the end of the century, and storms… Expand
New estimates of potential impacts of sea level rise and coastal floods in Poland (discussion paper)
Polish coastal zone is thought to be of the most exposed to sea level rise in Europe. With climate change expected to raise mean sea levels between 26 and 200 cm by the end of the century, and storms… Expand
Protection Methods Against Sea-Level Rise Caused by Climatic Change: Case Study of the Nile Delta Coastal Zones
The global mean surface temperature is projected to increase about 1–3.5°C by the year 2100 caused by a sea-level rise (SLR) of about 15–95 cm. Low gradient coastal landforms most susceptible to… Expand
Potential Implications of Sea-Level Rise for Great Britain
Abstract Large parts of the coasts of Great Britain (including England, Wales, and Scotland) already experience a number of problems, including sediment starvation and erosion, loss/degradation of… Expand
Economic impacts of climate change in Europe: sea-level rise
This paper uses two models to examine the direct and indirect costs of sea-level rise for Europe for a range of sea-level rise scenarios for the 2020s and 2080s: (1) the DIVA model to estimate the… Expand
Climate change related increase of storminess near Hel Peninsula, Gulf of Gdańsk, Poland
The paper deals with the growing threat of erosion to the south Baltic coast, caused by the intensification of a wind-induced wave climate and sea level rise, which is expected to continue until 2100… Expand
Human impacts overwhelm the effects of sea-level rise on Basque coastal habitats (N Spain) between 1954 and 2004.
Abstract According to coastal measurements, global mean sea-level has risen at a rate of 1.8 mm yr −1 between 1950 and 2000, with large spatial variability at regional scales. Within the Bay of… Expand
A cost-effective method to protect the coastal regions from sea level rise A case study: Northern coasts of Egypt
Sea level rise resulting from climate change represents one of the major challenges for coastal regions, e.g., coastal erosion, submergence of shore cities and saltwater intrusion. This study… Expand
Integrating anthropogenic factors, geomorphological indicators and local knowledge in the analysis of coastal flooding and erosion hazards
Abstract The settlement and development of Quebec’s maritime coastline has generally taken place without consideration for coastal dynamics and coastal hazards. Consequently, fighting coastal erosion… Expand
